A mid taper is when the hair starts to get shorter at the midpoint of your head, so roughly around the top of your ear or slightly above it. With a mid taper there will be a larger discrepancy between the length of your hair on the top half of the head and the bottom half. With a high taper you keep the length on top, and then start going shorter on the sides almost immediately, so that the hair on the top of the head is significantly longer than all of the rest.
Like a taper, with a fade your hair is at its longest toward the top of your head and gets progressively shorter toward the bottom. But fades go really short, often revealing the skin on the side of your head.
Whereas a barber could use only a pair of scissors to give you a nice taper cut, for a fade he would use clippers to go really short on the sides, and may even use a straight razor at the bottom.
The relationship between low fade, mid fade and high fade haircuts is the same as the relationship between low, mid and high tapers. One way to think about it is this: a fade is just a shorter version of a taper. If you ask your barber for a fade, it will last a few weeks until your hair starts growing back, at which point it will be a taper.
It will still have the same basic shape — it will still be longer on the top and get progressively shorter toward your neck — but as the hair on the sides and back of the head fills in, your fade will, well, fade away, if you will.

Technically, a taper haircut is a type of fade, but a fade is not a kind of taper. Just know that, if you ask your barber for a taper fade, you will likely get a tapered haircut. While explaining the difference between a taper and fade may be helpful, a visual representation of each type of cut is probably the best way for you to envision which cut to get.
It involves fading the hair on the back and sides, then leaving the hair long on top and combed over. A drop fade is the most abrupt of the fades. They create a bold and stylish look that shows confidence by creating juxtaposition through the top and the sides. Most fades leave the hair on top dramatically longer, but not this one. In a bald fade, the top is very short and fades only slightly on the sides and at the back. As the name suggests, a high fade is when the fade occurs far up the head, close to the top section.
A low taper refers to a haircut where the hair is gradually cut down to the hairline, gently reducing the closer it gets to the natural hairline. This is where the tapered hairline follows the natural hairline at the nape.
